UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE DOOR HOOK Malvina Colarossi, Los Angcles, Calif. Application June 10, 1947, Serial No. 753,770

This invention relates to door hooks or clasps.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a door hook or clasp which when fastened to the door cannot easily be detached therefrom and wherein the attachment on the hook can be effected quickly by the mere driving of a nail from the edge of the door inwardly and through an eye portion of an attaching member and further wherein the eye portion will be confined within a, slot in the side of the door and in rear of a protecting plate through which it is outwardly extended to retain the hook itself.

Other objects of the present invention are to provide a door hook or clasp which is not readily detachable from the door which is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture and convenient to install and use.

For other objects and for a better understanding of the invention, reference may be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a portion of a door and of the door hook installed thereon.

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a transverse cross-sectional view taken on line 3-3 of Fig 2.

Referring now to the figures, 10 represents a door having a side face on which a hook or clasp II is to be disposed. To install the hook there is provided in the side face of the door a slot l2 into which is extended an eye portion l3 of an attaching member I4. With the eye portion l3 in place, a nail I5 is driven from the edge of the door through the slot 12 and through the eye portion 13. Thus the attaching member I 4 is made secure within the slot [2 and within the door body. The attaching member I4 extends through a hole [6 in a cover plate I! which is connected to the face of the door by fastening screws l8 and IS. The hook II is fastened to an eye portion 2| on the attaching member [4. The

hook will be attached as the door is closed to an eye on the door framework in the usual manner whereby to retain the door in the closed position.

It should be apparent that the attaching member 14 is made doubly secure upon the door by the nail l5 and by the plate l1. Both the nail and the plate I1 would have to be detached to remove the member I. A hook attached in this 2 Claims. (Cl. 292-95) changes shall be within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
